SBS 2011 blank desktop

I configured a new SBS 2011 Standard server. When I brought it out to the site, it starts up and gives me the Server management Console but nothing else except a blank blue background for the desktop. No icons, nothing. I can start the task manager.

I am having a similar problem. The Desktop is blank no icons, and not start menu. Right click on desktop does not bring up a menu. If i close out of the standard console, all i have is a blue screen. The only option is the ctrl + alt + del. I have the normal option on this screen. i have rebooted several times. And no change. The old standard windows hoy keys do not work either.
